Inspired by a similar question on reddit:

What games do you replay regularly/annually? (No shame if you skipped a year or two.) I am especially interested in 'comfort' games.

Only rule is, you should have played the game for the first time at least 5 years back.

My list:

Street Fighter 2 in all variations/on all platforms I have access two. I guess I have been playing it regularly for more than 25 years by now. No Street Fighter after the Alpha/3rd Strike ever captured me like this.
Contra / NES This one I play regularly for more than 30 years (at least), to this day my favorite action game and the ultimate benchmark (I played all NES/SNES/Genesis Contras and Operation Galuga, nothing comes close.)
Slay the Spire: Hits 5 years of being released, I played since the early access and wasted too much time on this, still fun and perfect on smartphones
Doom I/II: I cannot tell you what it is, there are obviously better FPS than Doom I/II, but sometimes, if I just want to blow some steam, Doom is the only thing that delivers. (I think I never played trough all episodes of either Doom I or Doom II

Every time I think I'm over it I'm doing another playthrough of Mass Effect with new mods. Just can't help myself! And it's fun every time.

This might be a dumb question but is it doable to replay without having to talk to all your crew so frequently? And would you mind giving a rundown of what mods you're using and what they do? I've only ever played the trilogy with no mods. Also played ME3 multiplayer a ton.

Honestly it really changes with my mood. If I'm planning on an insanity run the mods have more to do with mechanics than anything else. If I'm in a story mood I'll get some really great hair and outfits xD

When Legendary edition came out they redid basically everything, so the slate was wiped; but I'm gearing up for another run as soon as I get my PC back from the shop so if you wanna just tell me what kind of run you want I'll share my intel with you.

Leastways there have been some recent articles about the best new mods and unfortunately there's no Steam Workshop for them, so you'll need to head over to NexusMods to get the job done. Since that's also the main depository for the mods, you can also just pull up a list there and see what tickles your fancy.

This is an extremely close second for me, next to Super Metroid.

I only played after the trilogy was released, and holy-freaking-oh-my-god! I was sad when it was over and regularly return.

Hope the new game is good.
